. As Dave said, look at the details provided by the stack trace.
And don't use release builds when there are still big issues in your code; with a debug build, the stack trace would provide actual line numbers rather than offsets.

Exception: Syntax Error in INSERT TO.

Hi,
I wrote a code to export my data in gridview to excel. But at runtime it throws an exception saying "syntax error in INSERT TO" on execution of the command. I stepped through the code to see the output of the sql statement and I see nothing wrong with it. Can anyone assist me quickly on this please? Very many thanks in advance.

NB: The table creates perfectly, but the INSERT statement gives the exception.

My Code:

public static void ExportStudentsToXls(string filepath, List<Student> students)
        {
            using (ExcelHelper helper = new ExcelHelper(filepath))
            {
                helper.Hdr = "YES";
                helper.Imex = "0";
                Dictionary<string, string> tableDefinition = new Dictionary<string, string>();
                tableDefinition.Add("StudentID", "int");
                tableDefinition.Add("RegNo", "varchar(50)");
                tableDefinition.Add("Surname", "varchar(100)");

You have a , just before your closing ). You don't need to put that in. BTW, why did you not consider using sb.AppendFormat instead? You could have saved yourself a lot of sb.Append work there.

Use a parameterised query! And if that's too hard (it's not), at least escape the input strings. You're going to break things when you meet Mr. O'Brien. (Not to mention Bobby Tables.)

SQL doesn't use double quotes, it uses single quotes. But I will re-emphasise, building a query string like this is the wrong way.

I want to further emphasize what the others said. Use a parameterized query every time. It's safer and it's quicker if you reuse the command many times:

Set the command and add the parameters
Loop
  Set the paramater values
  Execute the command
Endloop

And what's with the Dictionary? Confused | :confused:

There's no guarantee which order the columns will be in when you create the table. A List of Tuples might be a better idea.

Passing an object through different window classes in Windows Forms

nstk11-Jul-12 0:55

11-Jul-12 0:55

In a Windows Forms application, I have a class Students and then I create a new object student inside the class Form1 which represents the main window of my application.

So far so good, but I need a second window which will show the user some of the student's data. Therefore I create a second class derived from Form, let's say
StudentsData : Form
and then I let a new object of that class be created inside the Form1 class, and again through ShowDialog() I let that new Window be visible.

What I do not succeed is to pass the student's data into that window. I think the real question should be, how do I make an object persist through different other classes/objects?

Any help would be appreciated.

If all you are trying to do is to pass the Students class through to your second form, you simply need to make sure you have added this into your StudentsData form before you call ShowDialog. Now, you could do this by passing it in a constructor in StudentsData, or you could simply expose a property that accepts StudentsData. Depending on what you are trying to achieve with this, I would choose the property because you are probably going to want to be reading the contents of this after your dialog has closed.

I have a main Form
public partial class Form1 : Form
a Data Form
public partial class Data : Form
and a class Students in another file with
public string Name
{ get; set; }

Now on Form1 I create
Students stud = new Students();
and then I give
stud.Name = "hisname";

Then by clicking a button on Form 1 the following happens

Data datawindow = new Data();
datawindow.ShowDialog();

When Data Form loads I want to get in a text box
txtName.Text = stud.Name;

But the object stud is not available on Data form.

In Data class:

public Students Students
{
    get{ return students; }
    set
    {
        students = value;
        txtName.Text = students.Name;
    }
}

In your Button Click handler in Form1:

Data datawindow = new Data();
datawindow.Students = stud;
datawindow.ShowDialog();

Unfortunately I am getting an error, and I think I have seen it before when I was trying to solve that problem, maybe because I have a class Students on a file students.cs

The error is:
Inconsistent accessibility: property type 'Studentstest.Students' is less accessible than property 'Studentstest.Data.Students'

Where Studentstest is the name of the project containing the following classes:
Form1.cs, Data.cs and Students.cs

There's two common approaches I use for modal dialogs. The first is to write a method in StudentsDataForm (yes I just renamed your class Smile | :)

) which takes the Student, shows the form and returns a modified version:

public Student EditStudent(Student input){
 this.firstNameTextBox.Text = input.FirstName;
 // ... etc to copy data into other controls
 // you could also use data binding
 if(DialogResult.OK == ShowDialog()){
  Student result = new Student();
  result.FirstName = firstNameTextBox.Text;
  // etc
  return result;
 } else return input;
}

There's also a variant of this where you update the input object in place, and return the DialogResult, which you can use if you always want the data object to be updated by the form when OK is used.

The second way is to have a property in the second form:

public Student Student {
 get {
  Student student = new Student();
  student.FirstName = firstName.Text;
  // etc
  return student;
 }
 set {
  firstName.Text = value.FirstName;
  // etc
 }
}

Then you push the data into the form, and use the data from it if the user pressed OK:

studentDataForm.Student = someStudent;
if(DialogResult.OK == studentDataForm.ShowDialog(this)){
 // Do something with studentDataForm.Student to store the changed data
}

Hello and thanks for your help.

Of course it works that way, but assuming I have 10 different objects in the Main Form and I need their data in several other Forms of my programme, let's say 6 new forms, do I have to create similar objects of all those 10 in everyone of the 6 Forms?

Isn't there a way to make an object available in the whole programme?

Hi. I'm new to C# so sorry if my questions will be little simple or not so clear.

I have a DLL that I I'm using as a COM reference in my project.

In the DLL there is a method I'd like to use:

STDMETHOD(CS7ProSim::ReadOutputImage)( long StartIndex,
long ElementsToRead,
ImageDataTypeConstants DataType,
VARIANT* pData)

My problem is the "VARIANT* pData" and how to access the returned data in it. The result I want from the method is a byte array[1024].

I declared this variable
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
byte [] QB = new byte[1024]; //Define the data area

Then I'm using this code...

//Set up variables
Object pData = QB;
//Setup of method datatype
ImageDataTypeConstants pdtConst;
pdtConst = ImageDataTypeConstants.S7Byte; //Read in byte form
//Read from-to
int StartByte = 0; //Start on byte 0
int ReadSize = 1024; //Read 1024 bytes

//Call the method
ps.ReadOutputImage(StartByte, ReadSize, pdtConst, ref pData); //Read the whole image of 1024 bytes

The method will return the correct data in the pData array. But I don't want to have it in a object but in an array.

My questions are...
-Do I really have to create the new pData object or can I somehow use the QB directly in the method call?

-If I use pData as I do now, how can I copy the values in pData back to QB?

If I "hover" above the "pData" I can see it's a array like QB and it has the values from the method, but how to get those values back to QB?

Thanks.

Hello,
how can a service read a shared memory file "MemoryMappedFile" from a user application.
I have a closed Source application that have a public Shared memory file with data.
In a normal test application i can read the Memory Mapped File.

In a service the same failed. I can only read Shared memory data from applications that shared with the filename: "Global\\filename", not segments with "filename".

There is a chance to read Shared Memory Files without the "Global\\" mark in a windows Service from a normal application.
